Struct aarch64_std::time::Instant

pub struct Instant { /* private fields */ }

A measurement of a monotonically nondecreasing clock. Opaque and useful only with Duration.

Instants are always guaranteed, barring platform bugs, to be no less than any previously measured instant when created, and are often useful for tasks such as measuring benchmarks or timing how long an operation takes.

Note, however, that instants are not guaranteed to be steady. In other words, each tick of the underlying clock might not be the same length (e.g. some seconds may be longer than others). An instant may jump forwards or experience time dilation (slow down or speed up), but it will never go backwards.

Instants are opaque types that can only be compared to one another. There is no method to get “the number of seconds” from an instant. Instead, it only allows measuring the duration between two instants (or comparing two instants).

Implementations

impl Instant

pub fn now() -> Self

Returns an instant corresponding to “now”.

pub fn duration_since(&self, earlier: Self) -> Duration

Returns the amount of time elapsed from another instant to this one, or zero duration if that instant is later than this one.

pub fn elapsed(&self) -> Duration

Returns the amount of time elapsed since this instant was created.
